Psychosocial Management of Mental Disorders in Bangladesh

The scope of professional support for mental health conditions is limited in Bangladesh. However, approaches to mental health service delivery as well as quality of service are steadily increasing. Although may not be considered a specialization in a strict sense, interest among the provider to work in a specific focused area has increased. Service delivery through digital platforms and increasing initiatives toward community mental health are generating hope towards increased access to services for people in need of mental health support. Despite opportunities, there are still challenges that need to be addressed for quality and ensuring access to psychological therapies in Bangladesh.
